Most drivers fuel their vehicles with gasoline. Robert Tomey powers his with French fry grease. The owner of four McDonald’s restaurants recently converted his Volkswagen Beetle and the company’s Ford pickup truck to run on used vegetable oil drained from his fryers, reports the Associated Press. “I couldn’t believe it was that easy,” Tomey said while pouring gooey grease into the tank of his silver Beetle. “It’s incredible. I want everybody to do this.”

Diesel engines were originaly designed to run off of almost any liquid fuel, peanut oil, veg oil, etc. i have a diesel mercedes and i’ve been tempted to convert it to run on veg oil, just for fun.

well actually you can goto a mcdonalds and they will give it to you. Usually they have to pay someone to get rid of it so they will just give it to you, company policy.
